One of those where you can dance and the people are not heavy. At midday everyone goes out into the street and the cooler ones go to a terrace for a last vermouth. It&#8217;s a clear day and you can see the little birds of the city, it makes you want to follow them. Brandon could be the result of this idyllic morning. This is the debut album by Ciutat, a group formed by Jordi (JP Sunshine) and Guim.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Ciutat feat.

With echoes of the previous night&#8217;s music in the form of house, jazz-tinged downtempo electronica, expansive chorus pop, electro, flamenco and the chirping of 9 different birds, Ciutat bring together the past, present and future to find the perfect modern pop formula: fresh and enduring. Like the album that Nuevos Medios would release if it existed in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Ciutat offers nine songs that move between downtempo electronica and pop. Composed of slow breaks that don&#8217;t give up dancing at all, and of airy synths and Mediterranean melodies, the album includes indisputable hits like Techo, with Chico Blanco, and Manual de Autoayuda, with EJ Marais, but it also has room for instrumentals close to jazz like Gasss (a track made in collaboration with Xavi Bufa, who plays his part with a fence), flamenco, electro or the most danceable house. The album closes with a version of Sabor a m\u00ed made in collaboration with Kora.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Ciutat feat.
